When you see Stevie solo on the low strings he was showing respect. He absolutely loved Albert King. Look at the way he watches and listens to him. He always laid back a little with these blues legends out of respect. You don't outshine a legend. Stevie took the blues very seriously and respected pioneers like Albert King.
My thought exactly. couldn't have said it better myself, RC. Stevie was always humble, but in the presence of the ''greats'', he showed how truly respectful he was. Also, worth noting, these two Gentlemen are the most ''chill'' reactors that I have seen yet. That is why I subscribed.
Albert King was hIs Hero. He NEVER tried to outshine any of his idols EVER. There was a show where they put BB KING on before and he went nuts. He said BB King will never open for me again.
Jimi took a lot from Albert king…. The bending and the sliding back and fourth on the neck.
I’ll give you guys a like.. I appreciate what you guys are doing but I can’t watch be reviewed…. I need to be alone to watch this stuff. Uninterrupted.
Thanks for keeping these guys names relevant… Albert was truly one of the best…. and Stevie goes without saying.
Albert King was considered Stevie Ray Vaughan 's Godfather. At 17 he asked to sit in with Albert King on stage , Mr. Albert King was going to show ,in his own words " skinny little white boy " up , but Stevie Ray Vaughan started playing Albert King 's signature licks and matched him lick for lick.
Nailed it ..
Stevie loved Albert King
Albert King was inducted to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2013. His daughter and his granddaughter got up and spoke and talked about the relationship between Albert and SRV and that they were always at the house jamming together and that at times BB King was also there… could you imagine three of the greatest guitar players jamming together and feeding off of each other, man I would’ve loved to of been there.
He's using a Flying V| how cool is that?
Love and respect flowing both ways here. Albert was not the kind of guy who let anyone on stage with him, but he loved Stevie as a son. A few years later, in an interview, Stevie called Albert his godfather. Interview says Wait, What? Stevie told him the story of when they were playing a show together and Albert told the crowd "Ain't but one white boy with a black daddy, and I'm his." Priceless.
I remember watching VH1 Legends I think it was and that story was told, priceless indeed!
At the end of this jamming session Albert King laughs like ecstaticly, tells everybody he'd love to do more but has a concert later and has to keep his fingers intact..
The more you listen to Albert King the more you realize what a huge influence he was on Stevie.
Can't remember the interview but Stevie's testimony was he was a 12 yr old dishwasher and he stood on a 55 gallon barrel of used oil and fell through due to the boards being saturated with oil. Right then and there 2 cooks brought out 2 fresh vats of boiling oil. He stated had he not took his break early he'd been " A fried guy" I decided right then and there I wanted to play like Albert King. Thank you Albert. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!!!
When Albert King says "Stevie, you're qualified," that's a lifetime invitation to the cookout.
Stevie's tone is unmistakable. When you hear it, you immediately know it's Stevie. Love the dynamic between these two; Albert King was a giant in Stevie's eyes and you can really see the respect & admiration between them.
I saw BB King play in a little bar in San Juan Capistrano a week after SRV died. He was in tears and said it felt like losing a son. It was one of the most heartfelt shows I have ever seen. The blues wept that night and even today I can still feel the pain of that performance.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
The ones who say Jimi was Stevie's main influence have obviously not watched this. You don't need a music degree to hear Albert in Stevie's style.
To hear Albert coach Stevie up like a grandfather would his grandson is priceless. And to see Stevie soak up every word like an eager grandson is a beautiful thing as well. (Albert was Stevie's self-proclaimed godfather)
Thank goodness someone filmed this!
Don't have money to buy one
I remember when I was first getting into the blues and listening to SRV non-stop.. one of my older guitar playing friends said. "Stevie played Albert King better than Albert King could play Albert King..".. lol. at the time I was like.. "ah.. ok.".. Like you said.. no need for a music degree to hear it.
THANK GOODNESS SOMEONE FILMED THIS!!!!!!
Canada …!! 😘 to Canadian TV!!
SRV had such genuine love and respect for Albert King that I think Albert couldn't help but reciprocate. SRV had similar relationships with other OG blues greats like BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Lonnie Mack and so on.
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw SRV live. I did have the opportunity in 1989 but got tied up with life and figured I'd catch him the next time around. There wasn't a next time...
I'm super grateful that we have these recordings that capture a small part of these two giants and their relationship.
He was something else live...I saw him about a dozen times around the Detroit Toledo area. He's my #1, irreplaceable talent.
Wow, Sgt, when I read that "biggest regret" line, It caught my attention, because I have said the exact same thing. I was in Alpine Valley the day before he played is last show there for Dire Straits. I can't even remember if I knew SRV was playing there the next night, but when the news hit, I realized the incredible mistake I had made. Also, thank you for your service, Sgt! My dad was a USMC colonel and had served in Korea. I have an awesome picture signed by his "gunny" of him pinning my dad's captains bars on him.
Stevie's respect for the older master was a beautiful thing to see
I worked at the studio where this was filmed, but had no idea it was going on. I worked days and it was taped at night. I was so jealous of the guys on the night shift who got to watch the whole show live and got to meet Stevie and Albert afterward.
I would’ve been jealous too. You just missed meeting some legends
Austin Tx by chance?
@@SGtem Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, at CHCH TV studios.
It heartwarming to see SRV being discovered and keeping his memory alive.
So special….Albert King was SRV’s Godfather.
Albert King is one of the Great Guitarist most people have never heard of. He's one of the " Three Kings " of the Blues. Albert King, B.B. King, and Freddie King. In 2011 Rolling Stone's placed Albert at # 11 on their top 100 Greatest Guitarist of all time. Thanks for showing these two Legends of Blues Music.
Stevie Ray Vaughan -Life Without You, is one of the greatest live performances of all time
The best being from the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ 1985💙🎶💯
You can hear so much Albert King in stevies playing. Love it. Respect
Albert King telling Stevie Ray "You're going to be good". He already knows but he also knows humility and the rule that no matter how good you are, there is always someone better. The teacher to the student and Albert is one of the masters ♥
Your watching two masters having a jam session, no rehearsal, just knowing where your at on the guitar, and playing in a style. Stevie played all his parts on what he felt and not from being written down notes!!
You can hear by Alberts playing the heavy influence he had on Stevie..
Stevie respected and worshipped Albert. It’s very evident in his playing and how he hangs on every word Albert says and every note Albert plays.
Albert King was a icon and a living legend in blues all of us guitar players know who Albert King is. Stevie Ray was a protege under him.
Just a couple of legends sitting and performing together. Fantastic.
Albert King actually became Stevie Ray's Godfather, if you watch the hole show you'll see Albert King looking around at everyone with a big smile on his face and when their performing Texas Flood Stevie Ray got Albert King off his stool and starts jammin with Stevie Ray. Albert King was playing at a place called Anton's owned by Clifford Antone, Stevie Ray went into Anton's and asked Clifford to ask Albert King If he could sit in but Albert King said no but Stevie never gave up and finally Albert King said bring him up and the rest is history. Everyone said Albert King didn't like anybody but e loved and respected Stevie Ray. Stevie Ray's guitar was an old beat up guitar when he bought it from his friends guitar shop named Ray Henny guitar shop, it was owned by another musician named Christopher Cross.
It's funny that three great guitar players have the same last name. The three Kings, Albert,BB and Freddie. Talent overload.
Albert King was like a father to Stevie…..his number one idol above all the rest
Wow, Albert King was phenomenal! Geez, no wonder Stevie plays the way he does!! But Albert ...what a groove, he plays like no one else! The way he played AND sang ...GOAT!!! THAT WAS ENTERTAINING!!! Thanks guys that was just fricken great! 🎸🎤💃❤
The man never played it the same way twice!!!! Every night he had a different feeling on how to perform tunes and his mood that day/night steered him in a certain direction and that’s what you got as an audience member from the GOAT!!!!! Been there done that watching him dozens of times!!!!! Pure talent and emotions!!!! Just an unbelievable performer and Double Trouble ruled as his band!!!! So talented!!!!! As BB King said in amazement after playing with him once (BB was a great influence on Stevie when he was growing up and definitely wasn’t a slouch on playing Blues), we blues guitarist play in sentences and Stevie plays in paragraphs!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸
Stevie used heavy-gauge strings and carried Super Glue to glue his fingertips back on. This whole session is FIRE!
The respect Stevie has for his mentor is plain to see. “The Velvet Bulldozer’s” hands were so big, he looks like he’s playing a Hello Kitty guitar.
Albert king was Stevie Ray Vaughns hero. This is great
I have loved Albert King for so long but I never hear anyone talk about his fantastic music. I’m happy to see and hear this. Thanks!
It wasn't really about Steveie here. It was all about Albert, and that's how Stevie wanted it to be
They recorded this whole session I think it's called Sessions. There is alot of history between these 2 Albert used to let Stevie sit in on his spots in Austin(this was unheard-of). SRV had so much respect for all of the OG's and would play with them any chance he got. This recording was kinda of Albert showing the blues world hey Y'all got to give this White Boy some respect, and for SRV or was an honor just to play with him.
Stevie had strong hands and fingers used heavy gauge strings and tamed those strings into submission. Two national treasures gone but never forgotten 💙
Playing rhythm for a legend. And having a great time.
Incredible skill sets. SRV uses very heavy gauge strings. 2 GOATS.
I've seen this whole show so many times, and have the CD of the performance. While Stevie had many influences as you already know, Albert King was a very special mentor to him. When you listen to King, and then to SRV, the influences on Stevie are crystal clear. King encouraged him from the very beginning of his days playing the clubs on Sixth St. in Austin.
Worth it's weight in gold.
That whole session is awesome. Watch all.. Love "If it wasn't for bad luck"..
Born Under a Bad Sign. Great performance!
Stevie absolutely loved the great blues men of yesterday. They were his hero's. When Srv became famous he always talked about these great men. His band tells the story of them doing a gig in Colorado and when they got there Stevie saw BB King was opening for him and he became infuriated and said This is wrong just wrong I should be opening for him. He tried hard to get it changed but they wouldn't. He told his people this should never happen again ever.
Albert King is blues royalty, and I love seeing the deference from Stevie. Paying close attention to what Albert is telling him, and then we know a hundred stories where Stevie is out there trying to live those lessons. Of course you can also see Stevie wanting to impress. Wanting to make the old man proud. And if you've ever wondered what inspired Stevie's amazing bending technique, look no further than Albert King.
Without Albert King there would be no SRV. The amount of respect they had for each other was awesome! Great video guys!
Awesome job, my brothers..... Stevie was the only one Albert allowed to sit in with him in the 80's at the behest of Clifford Antone, owner of Antone's in Austin.... I think Stevie was 17 at the time. Albert was Stevie's Godfather. Albert was known as "The Velvet Bulldozer".... he was a huge man, with a gruff disposition. But, he loved Stevie from the get go. Watch all of the videos from this made for Canadian TV show ..... legendary performances and their interactions between songs is really sweet and encouraging to Stevie. Albert was his idol. Joe Bonamassa now owns Albert's Flying V guitar seen here and plays it regularly.... check out Joe playing it on "Breaking Up Somebody's Home" and "Born Under A Bad Sign" , both Albert's tunes, live in London. It's effing cool guys!
And it's awesome to see Reese Wynnans playing with him.
What you're missing is that it is clear that Stevie is laying down in this session for Albert. He was so respectful of the people that came before him that he would never embarrass them by playing his best. It would be too much for Albert's ego and he knew it... It is a kindness that you see him do with many older guys that he played with...
Stevie used really thick gauge strings especially in his early years through time he did use thinner gauge strings but still thicker then most guitarist will ever use, plus his strings were extremely high from the neck which required a lot of strength and abuse to play the guitar but that’s how Stevie played. He said he plays the guitar like he’s trying to break out of prison.
I would like to thank you guys for your attention to the vid, I've been a blues player for 35 years, and I loved whenever srv and Albert plays together, can you imagine them at Antones when he was a kid, and Albert never let nobody up on stage with him. But he let Stevie up there as a teen. So they go way back, you have to remember this, and Stevie and Freddie King and Albert king was the base of srv besides Clapton
Did you notice that Albert King was NOT using a pick??? Just thought I'd point that out after you asked about SRV in the Texas Flood vid. Please watch "Lenny" from the El Mocambo show, it's all instrumental. Thanks.
They respected each other Albert respected Stevie because the night they meet Albert was going to try and make Stevie look stupid it was at Antoine’s in Austin Texas and Stevie got Antoine to ask if he could sit in and play with Albert but the funny thing about it is when Stevie got up on Stage Albert would make up some notes and play them and dare Stevie to play them and he played them better than Albert and after that they was friends
Talk about being in heaven, getting to hear these two together, LIVE... What a pair of fantastic artists...
The great Albert. my favourite blues man.
Albert, and others, built the foundation................Stevie built the skyscraper on that foundation.
Albert King was Stevie's major influence and mentor growing up. Merry Christmas guys. P.S. Stevie used heavy 12 and 13 gauge strings which is almost unheard of which helps the unique sound., it's really hard on the fingers, he sometimes superglued the tips of his fingers back on, no shit, love this channel.
Merry Christmas!!
@@AirplayBeats 👊
It would be safe to say that Stevie enjoyed himself....the respect is amazing & genuine. That loud sound is those 12 gauge strings. Enjoyed your reaction, ya'll get it.
You guys hit the jackpot on this one! 💯🔥
Stevie had several big influences in his style: his brother Jimmie, Hendrix, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Lonnie Mack but among all of them I feel like Albert King was a special one. Stevie had to enjoy playing and recording with one of his biggest idols.
Two greats! Another great blues guitarist who play the guitar "upside down" is Eric Gales. There is a fan shot video of him playing Hendrick's "Red House" and he is joined on stage by Samantha Fish and Kingfish Ingram, two right handed guitarists and they hand Eric's guitar back and forth, Eric playing left handed and the others right handed. Also, Joe Bonamassa (big time guitar collector) has Albert King's Flying V guitar and still plays it. Check him out playing it on Albert's song "I'll Play The Blues For You". Thanks for another great reaction video!
Doyle Bramhall II also played left-handed and upside down. He's an Austin guitar player who has played a lot with Clapton and with Roger Waters (post-Pink Flyod) and for a brief shining moment in the early 90's he had a band called Arc Angels that was made up of him, Charlie Sexton another Austin guitarist, and the Double Trouble rhythm section that played with SRV. They still get together and play short tours occasionally - I saw them last year at Antone's here in Austin. Doyle and Charlie would swap guitars a lot and do the same thing you describe Eric Gale and the others doing.
Wow, you guys plucked out a rare gem that most everyone has skipped over. Everybody thinks Hendrix was Stevie's guitar hero.. not true. He idolized "The Big Man."
I think it shows.. thanks guys.
Love this one!!! Thanks for the great reaction y'all! SRV had Mad Respect for the OG's & all his amazing idols & influences! Albert's nickname - The Velvet Bulldozer - lends to his music abilities & his size. Notice how large he is next to SRV's 5'7" I believe, lol. Awesome blues team - it's like a clinic in blues. 😍😍😍
Guys, you have got to buy this CD! (It's called Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Session.)
It's an entire session about an hour and a half long.
I had... well, the single most tragic moment of my music life with this album! It's my favorite, I played it over and over and over and had it so long that the jacket had actually started to turn white.
One morning, Saturday morning you know cleaning day? I reached up to pick up the album and I'd put it on the shelf backwards.
When I went to take it out of the sleeve, the album rolled out and hit the floor right on its edge and shattered into four pieces!
I cried for a week! It wasn't on cd, it was an LP and irreplaceable.
The late great Albert King is my favorite artist of all time. The year I was born, 1968, he was a group called STAX and he wrote a song called Born In a Bad Sign.
Turns out that song's been the theme song for my entire life!
Albert King is the man who gave Janis Joplin the title "Queen of the Blues"
Long before Jimi Hendrix ever did it, Albert King played the upside down backwards reverse string guitar because he is a lefty and they are were so few left-handed guitars made back in the 40s 50s and 60s that they just had to improvise.
This whole set is absolutely amazing! Not only did Albert and Stevie play together, Albert was Stevie's mentor and man oh man does it show!
What a voice Albert had! I forgot to say I also saw Albert live at the Fillmore in San Francisco!
On the album they recorded together, there's a lot of conversation between the two of them, in between songs. There was a lot of love and respect shown!
Dang. Watching SRV looking and respecting Mr King , just a class act
When you get an absolute phenomenal player like Stevie and he sits next to a legend and knows his place - Very cool
Legendary Jamming , full off Respect of Both each other . They will never been forgotten
They say Stevie could play Hendrix, but Hendrix could never play Stevie. Many joke that Stevie used airplane cables for strings. Hope you will react to Stevie's "Sound Check," "Ain't Gonna Give Up on Love," "Mary Had a Little Lamb, (Austin City Limits version)" "Couldn't Stand the Weather."
Jimmy Vaughan, guitarist for the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie's older brother, once said that Albert King was one of the most intimidating figures he'd ever known. Jimmy described Albert King as "Goliath with a guitar."
Two favorites. Listen to for many years. Love Albert’s Flying V!!!!!!
Goosebumps! Legends never die! This 2 never never be forgotten.
I love Albert King, saw him live, what a legend...thanks for bringing him to your followers. Check out born under a bad sign same session.
Watch the rock and roll hall of fame induction of Albert King. John Mayer gives a speach about the history of his music that started with Stevie and back tracked to Albert. It is fun to hear him pay his respects to both of them
Thank you so much! I absolutely love watching Stevie and Albert King together. What a treasure.
You guys must check out them singing blues at sunrise
Stevie’s strings were so thick, at 13 gauge they were *gonna* sound different. You should hear this whole thing, it’s for Canadian TV.
So much respect between Albert and Stevie. It's a beautiful thing to see.
A Little History About Albert King and SRV - King loved and taught SRV as his very own son; it was that deep.
Good Lord I would faint if Albert King even looked at me. And here he is telling Stevie Ray Vaughan he's the best
SRV was playing with one of His Heros....how many of us get such a chance...?
And WE get to share in the awesomeness!
Love love love LOVE SRV but don't lose sight of the fact that....
Albert King is a Beast!
I'm glad you found this on film. it's neat watching how King played and watching him do it on his legendary Flying-V. He put that guitar on the map and his is beautiful. I love watching Stevie play as well, he was a beast while keeping an almost boyish giddiness, you could see he was having fun. Right on guys, great choice.
Couldn't click fast enough when I saw this offering🎶. And this is my favorite song from this session even though it is hard to choose. This whole recording called "In Session" is on a DVD video and I play it a lot. Stevie is like a kid in a candy store playing with Albert. The whole session is a Treasure of Pleasure🎶🎸💯. You can pick any song from this session and can't go wrong. Stevie had just finished playing a 2 hour concert up in Canada and came in for this session. If you ever do Texas Flood from this session, it is a rocking good time with exchanging leads and riffing back and forth like crazy, but when Stevie sings you can hear his voice is going from overuse at this point. I subbed from your very first Stevie Ray and am really enjoying your journey with the awesome and one and only Stevie Ray🎸💙‼️
Stevie always showed respect and didnt really let loose...just played tasteful nice leads. This entire session is just awesome. Check the rest of it out
Stevie playing with one of his Heros'!
Albert gave birth to the slamming blues. 🔥
Wow you can tell that’s a real heart 2 heart real down at the crossroads moment for our young pal Stevie .. thank u for everything Mr Albert King rip both guitar gods 🙏😇🎸
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
**Leave My Girl Alone at Austin City Limits 1989**
Love, Love, Love ❤ This so much 💯 Thank you guys🥰 Your the best 👍🎧🎸❤✌️(RIP) SRV 😢 AND ALBERT KING😢 THEY ARE SO MISSED 🙏😘🇺🇸✌️👍🐐🐐📀
Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan in session, it don't get no better than this folks!
Albert King's voice is smooth as butter.
Albert King was the King. Stevie worshipped him. He was a lucky man to play with The King. Stevie knew it too. That's the guy Stevie listened too and taught him everything.
Albert King smooth like butter. And he can sing pretty well too
The teatcher and the master student!
That's the perfect blend of Blues and rock n roll
When I listen to this, It just gets me going on hours off this type of sublime genius. STV, as you say, “is different.”
I feel it was a serious fuel for my soul. S.R.V. is my absolute favorite. Saa hundreds of real good guitarist. Clapton, BB, cray, page ect but when I saw Stevie it was spiritual to say the least. Last time months before his passing and it was magical. Clean he was and on fire. Insane set. Cant imagine anyone possibly better ever. GOD took him early cuz there was nothing more to learn.....RIP SRV
If you want to see another guy that plays a right handed guitar upside down, try ERIC GALES.
He’s still alive and he’s got to be one of the best guitarists alive!
Try his cover of Little Wing live at Whelans
“The better you get. The harder you work.” I like that. Awesome life advice.
Albert was on of Stevie's big heroes. You can hear a lot Albert in Stevie. Also, Stevie plays really big strings.
SRV used heavy guage strings with a high action. He had to superglue the tips of fingers when he'd have open wounds.
Matchbox is my favorite on this jam! RIP Mr. King and SRV.
What an amazing Albert King/SRV duet! Thanks for bringing it back!
Blues at Sunrise, with these two amazing artists is my favorite blues performance. It's part of this same session.
Man when Albert smiles and looks away it's looking at everybody else in the room. Do you see this guy?
